<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><em>And Those Ashen Heaps That Cantilevered Vase of Moonlight</em>, Lynn Xu's book-length poem, is a brilliant embodiment of time's effect on languages and histories.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Part protest against reality, part metaphysical reckoning, part internationale for the world-historical surrealist insurgency, and part arte povera for the wretched of the earth, Lynn Xu's book-length poem, <em>And Those Ashen Heaps That Cantilevered Vase of Moonlight</em>, holds fast to our fragile utopias. Under the auspice of birth and the contingency of this beginning, time opens: ecstatic, melancholy, and defiant, the voices of the poem flicker between life and death, gorgeous and gruesome, visionary and intimate.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Born in Shanghai, China, Lynn Xu is the author of the full-length collection <em>Debts & Lessons</em> (Omnidawn, 2013) and the chapbooks <em>June</em> (Corollary Press, 2006) and <em>Tournesol</em> (Compline, 2021).
